Founder’s
Message
THE CONCEPT OF abundance has
always intrigued me: it’s the idea of
having enough love, compassion,
time, and resources to be able to
be the person you are hoping to
become. Do you have enough love
to give to those you love? Do you
have enough compassion toward
those who are in need? Do you have
enough freedom of time to do what
you really want to do? Do you have
enough resources to accomplish
your goals and to bless others?
If I were to ask these questions
to each Young Living member, the
answers would vary in content and
confidence. However, what I do
know is that Young Living can lead
you to an abundant life.
In the network marketing
industry—and
specifically
with Young Living—there is no
identifiable limit to what you
can earn, and I’m not just talking
about money. It is the law of
attraction; and in an industry that
is dependent on relationships, you
will attract what you desire, seek
after, and commit to being. Your
attitude is everything, and you have
to believe that whatever it is you’re
pursuing, you will make it happen.
It will take time but the rewards
will come. Be committed to the
process. Know and believe in your
“whys”—and make them bigger
than money. Money will not
motivate you during the journey
that will inevitably be paved through
canyons, thick fog, and difficult
terrain. But when you look back
on the journey from the realisation
of your accomplishment, you will
have become the person you once
dreamed of becoming.
Believe in yourself. Believe you
can make a difference. Believe in
Young Living!

Young Living invests millions of dollars in farms, distilleries, labs, chemists, etc., all to
protect the integrity of our oils and the trust you have invested in us. This investment is
not a decision most companies make because it directly impacts their profitability. At
Young Living, we will take much less in our bottom line as a company so that you can
have much more certitude in quality as members. The current management team is
completely aligned with Gary, and we will never waiver in terms of meeting his highest
standards of quality.
I welcome each of you to be bold in sharing this message. Ask to meet other
companies’ analytical chemists; ask to visit their farms, labs, and distilleries; ask if their
company owners are absolutely obsessed with quality and if they make it their mission
in life. Gary’s passion is inspiring and contagious.
We have your back. Gary has your back. Be bold and let the oils speak for themselves.

protect them from the miserable cold, blowing snow, and cutting wind.
These huge chambers can produce anywhere from 17–23 litres of oil per cook while
using one-third of the fuel. The new distillery also completely eliminates Gary’s nightly drive in the semitruck over the treacherous
winding roads and hairpin turns on snow and ice to the distillery at the farm in St. Maries, which could take anywhere from three to seven
hours. Gary is safer; the distillation process is infinitely faster; and the essential oils have never been better. Indeed, the new distillery is a
realisation of a dream come true.

IF HONG KONG residents didn’t know who Young
Living’s founder was before this year, they certainly
do now. From airport kiosks to newsstands,
supermarkets, and convenience stores, D. Gary
Young became a household name throughout the
vibrant region in early January with a cover feature
in the popular magazine LifeStyle Journal.

DGYF: Hope In Action
By Don Clair

Director, D. Gary Young Foundation

THE D. GARY YOUNG Foundation is growing rapidly and is making the world
a better place in many ways. When we look at the Young Living Academy, we
tend to focus just on the children. Yes, our goal is to help them, but there is
more to share with you.
This year, parents of Young Living Academy students formed the Central
Parent Committee (CPC). This group of dedicated Young Living Academy
parents is committed to
helping their children get the
best education possible and to
support the school financially.
The CPC recently held their
first fundraiser for the academy.
For $1, parents and visitors were
treated to a great event that
focused on celebrating Ecuador’s
colourful and cultural diversity.
Attendees enjoyed tasty donated
food, and a group of professional
folk dancers performed for the
students and their families. One of the academy teachers is a member of the
professional folk dance group and was instrumental in organising all of the
dance arts.
The CPC’s event was richly successful! The community now embraces the
school and values the opportunities that education brings. Most significantly,
the CPC took the initiative to make a difference in their community and raised
$1,000 to buy new musical instruments for the school, including a drum kit, a
guitar, a bass, and amplifiers.
Remember to register for the special D. Gary Young Foundation event during
the 2014 International Grand Convention. It will be a night to celebrate! Watch

Gary Young:
A Somalian Adventure

This is the first of an expected five-part series
highlighting real events from Gary’s frankincense
exploration in Somalia, written by Gary himself.

PART 1

I SPENT EIGHT years trying
every angle possible to get into
Somalia to see the frankincense
trees, applying for visas, and being
turned down countless times, all
while my friends, colleagues, and
sweetheart kept saying to me,
“Gary, this seems crazy. Why do
you want to go to Somalia? It is
so dangerous.” Yes, I saw the news
and read the newspapers.
No matter what the response,
the consequences, or the outcome,
I just want to know the truth so
that when what I say is repeated,
I know it is the truth. It is easy to
defend documented truth, and
that is what I desire for anyone
who might be challenged.
Where does Boswellia frereana
grow? In what conditions does Gary realises his dream to visit the frankit grow? How and when is it incense groves in Somalia.
harvested and how long does it
take? Who does the harvesting? How many grades are there and who determines
that? How did it get from the trees to me? Where does Boswellia carterii grow?
What are the growing differences between the two trees? I just had to see it. I
had to know. That meant that I had to go to Somalia. There just had to be a way,
and I knew that God would provide.
As I sat down on the plane on the last leg of my journey, I started talking to
myself again. “Was a simple grove of frankincense trees really worth the price I
was paying? If I die, will the information really mean anything to anyone? Would
my discoveries even make it out of Somalia to the world?” That was a sobering
thought. “So, why am I
doing this? Look at the
companies out there
selling synthetic cut
perfume oils, calling
them 100 percent
certified therapeutic,
doing well, and making
a lot of money; but they
are not here. Nobody
else would take this risk,
nor do they care about
the truth. They just spin
their lies and people buy
Gary checks to see if this tree is frereana or carterii. them. No, this can’t be
worth it.”
Just then I heard this still, small voice in my head that said, “You know what
matters the most. You can sleep with the peace of knowing the truth and that it
will stand forever, regardless of how people perceive it. I AM TRUTH AND YOU
ARE NOT ALONE.” I felt comforted.

An array of skin-damaging enemies surround each of us—that is why it is
always beneficial to incorporate in your skin-care regimen a combination of
Young Living essential oils and carrier oils, lotions, or creams. Essential oils
affect the body, mind, and psyche and help activate the life of your skin.
In addition to essential oils, Young Living also offers a wonderful variety of
moisturising creams that can help promote beautiful, healthy skin. One of my
favourites is Young Living’s Boswellia Wrinkle Cream because it moisturises and
reduces the appearance of fine lines with youth-promoting ingredients.
Boswellia Wrinkle Cream contains MSM, which supports healthy collagen
and an even skin tone. The added wolfberry seed oil supports hydration and
helps soothe irritated or sensitive skin. Hyaluronic acid supports balanced
moisture in the skin. Grape seed extract, calendula, aloe vera, and shea butter—
in combination with Geranium, Ylang ylang, Myrrh, Frankincense, and
Sandalwood essential oils—all play a key role in rejuvenating your skin.
